One factor affecting current delivery time may that this model was not on the Lightcarbon website until recently. I want to say it appeared only after Chinese New Year at the end of February but I may be mistaken. I can only assume that orders increased once it was on the website.

I can conceive of no acceptable connection between price point and honesty. I don't care if the frame is $700 or $7000. Tell the truth about lead times.

Hello!

I should be receiving the tracking number for my frame soon, I'm planning to install a 105 Di2 groupset on it along with a Magene P515.

This is the first time I'll be building up a bike. I've bought everything I need, but I have one question I can't find the answer to: I've read/seen that sometimes spacers are required between the crankset and the bottom bracket, could you tell me whether the spacers are included with the LCR018-D frame kit?

Thank you

Handlebars: I also got a list of available stock of handlebars. It varies quite a bite between all combinations of Stem X width, so YMMV for a particular order, but that should not be the bottleneck right now.



be interesting to know

Spacers usually come with the crankset, if I remember the PeS had a few

Spacers usually come with the BB (or maybe crankset).

Spacer came with Magene crankset. (And i had to use it, because of the space between spiderpm and frame and because of the length of the Pipe, which goes through the BB.)

Has somebody any experience about hiding an Apple airtag or similar inside the frame of the bike, in case it is stolen? Any recommendations?

do it on my mountain bikes and will be putting on in the storage compartment of this frame when it arrives.

The bb from lightcarbon came with 3 different sized spacers. I used the thinnest to on the side of my Magene p505 power meter. The specs I found made me question the p505 compatibility with the frame and its t47 bb. It seems to fit without the spacer, but the gap is was pretty narrow. This seems perfect.

Someone already thought about a individual designed toolbox like this one:

Could be a nice ad on for the frame

Hello,

I've built my bike with a 105 mechanical groupset and as your are talking about spacers with the BB, mine didn't come with any spacers and I've built it this way. Am I missing something?

The only “downside” is that the steerer tube does not sit flush/horizontal with the top of the stem, which means you cannot place spacers above the stem to experiment with the handlebar height in search of my optimal position. I noticed there is a 3D-printed alternative on the forum, so I’ll try that at some point in the future.

I am currently using the 3D spacer that fits on top of the bar/stem. I can confirm it works well. I have been trying to figure out where I want the final stack height.

I installed SRAM BB (DUB T47 Road Bottom Bracket 85.5mm) with SRAM Force E1 2x crankset. Using 3mm spacer that came with BB, my non-drive side has bit of too much empty space. There is no play and I could not move it sideways. Plastic ring is maxed out, and it jumps if tightened more.

Torqued crankset to 54 Nm according to guide. Did I mis something or just need to order extra spacer?

Has the 3D file been uploaded here? I don't think I saw it. :P
